LQ JONES WANTS TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE WITCHMAKER!

Legendary character actor and cult director LQ JONES would like you to post and let him know what you think about the film he produced called THE WITCHMAKER. He wants to know if you hated it, loved it, if the film needs editing, or any other random thoughts you have about the movie. Feel free to post and Code Red dvd will forward your message to him!

Just watched the Code Red DVD last week. I had never seen this movie before...I don't know, maybe it had something to do with the fantastically beautiful women filling the screen, but I enjoyed it quite a lot. Visually, I loved it. There were some fantastic shots throughout. The characters were interesting. The performances were engaging. The story was straightforward, but never dull. I can't think of anything that could improve this film. It was an entirely pleasant experience for me, one that I'll be repeating in the near future.

I thought it had an incredibly vivid plot that wasn't fully realized in the finished product. It was still a fun little movie the type that used to play on television at all hours of the morning years back. I did a review for it if you'd like to share it with L.Q.

Hi LQ. First off, I must tell you that I've been a fan of this movie since I was a kid. It used to pop up every now and then on our local Creature Features TV show and even better, it was shown uncut!

Most independent horror pictures at the time were slow, badly made affairs with amateurish acting, poorly written screenplays and indifferent direction, but THE WITCHMAKER clearly aspired for much more and was a welcome breath of fresh air.

I think my favorite scenes (next to Thordis Brandt running around in her bikini, that is), are the ones between Luther and Jesse. There's a wonderful camaraderie between these two villains that's often funny and surprisingly good-natured. They're definitely not your average, run-of-the-mill , one dimensional horror movie bad guys!

I recently bought the DVD through Amazon and was impressed all the more. What a pleasure it was to see WITCHMAKER in its original widescreen glory! It's a bit of a shame that the film print had the alternate film title, but hey, that's a minor quibble.

By the way, I also have BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN on DVD as well, another personal favorite.

I have nothing which is not thine. Code red is great and they did a good job releasing the witchmaker in an as clean as possible copy. It's my favorite witchcraft movie. LQ Jones is awesome and "a boy and his dog" and the witchmaker are great gems of independant cinema, some movies shouldn't be remade. Friendly from France

I just watched this for the first time last nite. I really enjoyed the film - although I wish there were more nekkid ladies in it (hee hee). The Code Red disc utilized a fairly worn print but the color was nice. I really enjoyed the performances and the atmosphere. The film is a nifty little time capsule - it could use a little tightening but why bother? I would recommend this to my friends who have a little more patience w/ older, slower films.
